My filmmaking journey began at age 12 when, armed with my dad's 8mm Bell & Howell camera, I made three minute animation about aliens landing on a planet inhabited by dinosaurs and cavemen. I continued creating short flicks laden with lo-fi special effects and animation right into adulthood, mostly for my own amusement while working as an art director in the book publishing world. Then one day a colleague offered me a few dollars to create a short animation for a web series.
​
I've been a full-time filmmaker now for 12 years and have been fortunate enough to direct, edit, and animate projects for clients ranging from small businesses to major brands. This past year I wrote and directed my first feature film "There's Something in the Lake."

I also enjoy rocking in the free world with my band, Greg Pope and the Popmonsters.
 
I welcome new opportunities and would love to discuss your next creative project.
